Test Questions - Six Levels Of Learning Test questions may be designed to evaluate your ability to think at any of six different levels of abstraction. To help you decide how to study - since each level of abstraction will require use of a different learning strategy - this handout provides examples of questions typical of each of these six levels. Patterns of family organization: vocabulary list Kin - people who are related by common ancestry or origins; most often blood relations.
